This building remodel included a complete architectural, electrical, mechanical and seismic upgrade as well as demolishing the link between the two wings. The building was seismically upgraded by adding concrete walls. This wall system was needed to tie the walls better into the roof and floor diaphragms, to build a new link between the two wings and to build a new mechanical room. There were additional structural modifications to the building, such as the addition of skylights, revising framing at stairs, filling in stair openings, etc.
